La Nouba - Highlights

The Beginning

Cirque du Soleil premiered an all-new production, La Nouba, in a brand new theater, custom-designed and built for Cirque du Soleil on December 23rd, 1998. This state-of- the-art theater is located in the heart of Downtown Disney West Side in the Walt Disney World® Resort.

About the Show

La Nouba comes from the French phrase “faire la nouba,” which means to party, to live it up. La Nouba transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, engaging the imagination from beginning to end with opulent sets, brilliant choreography, theatrical lighting and provocative live music.

The 90-minute performance (no intermission) plays at 6:00 p.m. & 9:00 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. The show is dark on Sundays and Mondays and select periods throughout the year.
